To our ordinary eyes, they look like any
ordinary bench and not so useful coat stand – but believe they had just been
sold for Rs.2.90 lakhs and Rs.1.93 lakhs respectively.

They were sold at Christie’s – a name and place that claims of extraordinary art, unparalleled service and
expertise. Founded in 1766 by James Christie, Christie's conducted the greatest
auctions of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and today remains a popular
showcase for the unique and the beautiful. – but any of their expertise may not
have helped in conduct of an entirely different auction – that of Cricket
players for IPL.

Richard Madley, is the
man, he has done it before in 2008 with
eight teams spending over $40 million in eight hours to ‘own’ 75 best cricket
players in the world; he was back in
2011 and now he will again be conducting the IPL Player Auction 2012 on Saturday, 4 February 2012, at the ITC Royal
Gardenia Hotel, Bengaluru.

The 2012 Indian Premier League season- IPL 5 or IPL 2012, will be the fifth season of
the Indian Premier League, established by the Board of Control for Cricket in
India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament
will begin on April 4 and end May 27 2012. This season the number of teams
in the league went from ten to nine with the termination Kochi Tuskers
Kerala. The IPL Committee has terminated
the IPL franchise Kochi Tuskers Kerala. Despite KTK's efforts, the court
haven't given them any relief and the IPL Governing Council decided that the
tournament be reduced to 9 teams. KTK players will participate in IPL 2012. KTK
players have been included in the list of players to be auctioned in the
Players' Auction on 4th February 2012. The
Auction proceedings will begin at 11:00
am and will broadcast live by IPL Indian broadcaster Sony Set Max.

Earlier, there was this IPL 2012 Transfer
Window for trading players provided by IPL governing council. In the first
transfer window held between Dec 15,2011 to Jan 20, 2012 there was no financial cap on trading though each
franchise were allowed to add maximum
four players to their existing squad from this trading window. The following six transfers took place :

Dinesh Karthik moved from Kings XI to MI
for an undisclosed sum – easily the highest sum paid to buy a player from
another club. There are some reports
that MI paid Rs.12.4 crores ($2.35
million) to KXI who had bought him at $900,000 in 2011. Rajagopal
Sathish is an uncapped player, in fact played well in ICL and is to be Rs 30
lakhs ($56,619) for the season by Kings XI according to IPL rules. The rest you can imagine !

Last year it was cash-riot as 10
franchisees spent $62.8 million among
them to buy a total of 82 foreigners and 45 Indian players at the 2011 auction.
The numbers are excluding retained players. The present auction would pale in comparison as there is a
cap $16.94 million left with the nine
teams that will take part in IPL 5. –
that would mean that each team would have less than 10 crores Indian rupees
less any money spent on re-signing
players like Sourav Ganguly and Chris Gayle. There are 144 players available in the auction at prices ranging from $400,000 to $20,000, [Rs.2.87
crores to 9.37 lakhs] – there are 7 Indians from the defunct Kochi Tuskers
team. They are VVS Laxman, Rudra Pratap
singh, Sreesanth, Ravindra Jadeja, Parthiv Patel, Ramesh Powar and Vinaykumar –
not to speak of VRV Singh who has a base price of $100000.

Obviously, all of them may not find
takers. For the franchises, most of whom have astute cricketing brains working
for them, have been quietly doing their homework on some of the lesser names,
especially those who have caught the eye in tournaments such as the Champions
League T20 and the Big Bash. Talent scouts have been busy travelling, looking
out for a talented performer they can acquire cheaply. Yet with all such acumen, computers and brain
work, teams fumbled and ended up bidding very high for some players and not
having the balance in end.

Whether any reason would reign or would
it continue to be rat-race would be seen and known tomorrow. Should be big fun
watching this !!
